ShareX
Upload things, lots of things, screenshots, files, clipboard contents, video screen caps. I think you get the idea, an open source more flexible version of things like lightshot and gyazo.
Go get it. https://getsharex.com/
Atom
A very nice looking text editor, supports plugins so you can extend the functionality if needed. It's more useful for programmers because of a lot of it's highlighting features. Either way though it's free and is way nicer than notepad.
https://Atom.io
ConEmu
Do you use the command line on windows? Do you hate it with a passion? So do I so go get ConEmu, it runs all your command line applications in a command line that isn't horrible. It's awesome for multitasking due to the tabs and it has some great features like flat out overwriting the normal command line to run ConEmu instead. Oh, and it's opensource.
https://conemu.github.io/
Deluge (Please stop using μTorrent)
It's pretty, it's lightweight, it's bullshit free, it acts like μTorrent and it's opensource meaning that you most likely will not see any adware in the future either which is nice. Oh, and it's multiplatform so mac users can use it to.
http://deluge-torrent.org/
foobar2000
A lightweight, highly customizable music player, no bullshit just plays your music. If you want it to do other things there are plugins, but by default just listen to some music.

f.lux
Changes the hue of your screen according to the time of day, if you're doing some colour sensitive work don't worry you can disable it for a bit.

GOG Galaxy
Like steam but DRM free. Still in early development but I've run into literally no issues, games are cheap too so that's nice.

IObit Uninstaller
Really nice for batch uninstalls, be careful when installing though as it does try and install some excess.
http://www.iobit.com/en/advanceduninstaller.php
FP EDIT: Wow you guys really like this stuff huh? Here have some more: http://imgur.com/gallery/CrkVc
Dudeofallteenages
Only install GOG Galaxy if you use GOG.com and own their games, really. It's not at all a legitimate replacement for steam.

Iobit is cancer. Do NOT install.

I haven't had any issues or nuisances using µTorrent. Is Deluge safer, or is it just a matter of preference how to download torrents?
ScaleScentedAnalDildo
μTorrent used to have a shitty version that mined bitcoins on your computer, it's gone but so is the trust.
erischilde
Gog itself isn't new, just their platform. The site ha been around and is great. Straight up get your game, installer, no drm or bs
Corrodias
Yes. The only reason I still preferred to get my games on Steam was the client. Now that GOG has one, I prefer to buy from them.
JustMeAnd
iobit isnt safe!! pls dont use it if you care about your privacy.

Gog.com is great. Just by having an account you have access to like a dozen free games. Fluxx is great too. Saves my eyes on Imgur at night.
Shpeque
"Really nice for batch uninstalls, be careful when installing though as it does try and install some excess." REALLY?
darkevilmac
On the bright side you can batch uninstall the excess, all the other stuff it installs is just more iobit software.
Sionas
Can't tell if iobit is for uninstalling programs I used to have before this post or to get rid of the programs from this post.

Abracaderpa
People should never have any need for things like that in all honesty. It's just bloatware, as are most items on that list.
HappinessIsaColdPint
iobit is absolute garbage software. Use Ccleaner or Glary's Utilities.
Daktyl
I've found IOBit's uninstaller to be much better than CCleaner's uninstall function.
Adthay
I work computer repair and I remove any iobit soft ware I find on a computer
SchuKadaj
May I ask what's wrong with iobit though? People seem to be divided on this one
Adthay
It's one of those things that while no one can prove it's harmful it's certainly not helpful so at it's best it's a waste of resources and
Adthay
since it brings a number of suspect programs with it when it installs I would be surprised if it didn't at the least create vulnerabilities
Sionas
Yea I use CCleaner
poochyena
I wasn't a big fan of Ccleaner, I honestly liked Iobit's Advanced System Care better.
darkevilmac
I use it for new computers a lot because I can just batch silent uninstall all the bloatware.

Is it possible to remove all the apps my laptop came with? I always thought they were integral to my laptop working.

That's a little far for me! I usually build desktops or buy laptop from Microsoft store.
Aerolfoz
Well yeah, hence not much bloatware. Other than useless apps for a gaming focused pc of course. Which need commands to remove...
Sheepyhead
Specifically laptops with pre-installed OS
OSCgal
Yes. Yes they can. (I use CCleaner.)
CivilizedUndead
Iobit is...not very good.
HappinessIsaColdPint
Agreed. I always suggest Ccleaner or Glary Utilities as better options.
inspiringandfunnyusernamecoolheh
Ccleaner can be nice, but you can break a lot if you don't know shit. Iobit is for uninstall, can't see how ccleaner can do that.
AvocadoCadaver
CCleaner comes with a uninstall utility (& registry + file cleaner). I've had more success with it than the default Windows one.
Hobo42
RevoUninstaller is pretty though but last I used it it was a trial thing
AvocadoCadaver
A good alternative to IObit uninstaller is CCleaner - it's multi-function, does file clean-up AND uninstalling AND registry cleaning
tronvolta
This. Yes to this.

Notepad++ is significantly better in my opinion
wilhelmsen
Depends I guess. Npp could never fit my needs on having almost everything in one place.

I understand that I guess. Do you run Atom? Or do you have your own GitHub like storage/deployment software. I prefer writing code in Npp

wa27
Why would I want a GOG standalone program when their games are DRM-free? Just download a game from their site and... play it.
PoppinLochNessHopster
Cloud storage for save files is amazing, also servers.
gewalt
thats what I used to say about steam. I have since corrected my stance on this technology platform.
AttackMyWeakSpotForMassiveDamage
All IObit stuff (except maybe the free defrag) is a waste of space and, if you were stupid enough to buy it, money.
poochyena
Why is that? I tried other stuff and didnt like it as much.
AttackMyWeakSpotForMassiveDamage
It's a bloatware suite. It doesn't do anything any better and tries to make you install 30 separate programs.
suriaka
3rd party defrag is pointless when the built-in Windows defrag does the same thing and at scheduled intervals.
YouCanChangeYourUsernameAnytimeSoYouArentRelevant
Qbittorrent is better than deluge, it has an option to download on sequential order meaning you can watch a video while it downloads.
Valdeunus
Commenting to remember both apps
Nathrek
That's going to slow your download speed & screw with the swarm if too many people do it.
OptimusToaster
So does Deluge but it's a bad way of torrenting.
cr4sh0verride

pipskidoodle
Sublime is better, it has a better color scheme and is way more intuitive, and is free if you don't decide to pay for it
techkid6
I tried Atom, too much JavaScript for my tastes. All the native apps are just being replaced by webpages wrapped in a UI window
SarcasticPotatoo
Its not a webpage in a UI window. Atom is written in Electron which uses the Node Engine and System Libaries to create a native App in JS.
justforthefakepoints
Atom.io for programming(osx/linux/windows). Sublime's licensing is not clean, and stale(It is fast). Notepad++ for windows file editing.
artemizer
But worse. Has file size limit.
ConserveMomentum
Well, there's not going to be that much variation. At the end of the day most text editors use a big chunk of screen-space to 1/

It essentially is, but it's also completely free and written by the guys over at github.
Toothlessgiraffe
It's decent but really struggling with large files, large projects and large clipboards
TanstaaflTovarisch
Sublime text is free as well, aside from the nag screen. And it has 100 times the plugins.
ZombieEinstein
SublimeText makes you pay list WinRAR makes you pay - hard to argue that it isn't free.

I still prefer Sublime Text though
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
Except it's slowww....as...fffuck with large files. Notepad++, jEdit, even vim.
wilhelmsen
Use sublime then
tournier
No he meant, Sublime is excessivly slow on large files (100Mo++) where atom may not even be able to open them (same as Brackets).
cr4sh0verride
To be fair, if the file/project is big enough to slow down Sublime a more fully featured ide is probably a better choice.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
I work in operations so I use my text editors for more than only code. I'm currently using both jEdit and vim.

I'll give it another try this year. jEdit is kinda lagging and Notepad++ is Windows-only.
PooPooSpaghetti
I really hate how Notepad++ looks. Really makes it harder to skim the code for me. That's why I go for good looking editors.
TrustTheManWithTheVan
SublimeText didn't invent text editors. It's just a modern text editor with code formatting and Git integration.

how about Qbittorrent? I find it quite good actually
tkochhar
I use Oneswarm. Any thoughts as to what's better?
Tarlak
Seconded +1
Daktyl
I use it because it has a few features over Deluge. E.g. I can copy a torrent's magnet link super easily to share.
hugh705
You can copy the hash from a torrent on Deluge in like 2 clicks.
Daktyl
How do I use the hash to start a torrent? Never got that into it: I know how to set download points and share magnet links
hugh705
If you enter a magnet link manually, usually though a little '+' sign in you client, you can just paste the hash and it'll correct itself.
Rage066
Qbit over any other!
jinamuro
Yes. Use Qbittorrent, people.
wannabeblue

Corrodias
The only thing the old version of µTorrent that I used to use can do that Deluge can't is prioritize uploads. Can Qbittorrent?

yes it can do that

darkevilmac
As @subsevid said, it's best to stay on a more up to date torrent client, there's always the possibility of exploits as well with old apps.
subsevid
you will be missing newer features in the protocol. better find a contemporary client.
Cosmogonic
Anybody here uses Vuze? switched on it when mediaget fucked up, never ever had issues with it.
TobyFromHumanResources
I used Azureus before they became Vuze. Started out great, slowly got bloated with shit. Moved to uTorrent and a few years later same thing.
Cosmogonic
bloated? it runs half the ressources mediaget needed. this said, i aint short of power.
Counterfit
Vuze is a major resource hog. Some great features, but big updates try to sneak browser toolbars in during install.
Cosmogonic
not like everyone tries.
TobyFromHumanResources
I used Azureus before they became Vuze. Started out great, slowly got bloated with shit. Moved to uTorrent and a few years later same thing.

I prefer torrent clients without all the nonsense and ridiculous interfaces so Vuze doesn't attract me at all.

Unnecessary features. utorrent 2.2.1 or earlier from http://www.oldversion.com/windows/utorrent/ is ok. better: qbittorrent or deluge

Altoyr
Gunnar help me with the flourescent lightning at my work, f. Lux can not.

f.lux is free. f.lux is software. That's like saying Android can't do what an iPhone can -- of course it can't!
LeightonSlanga
No, no that isnt at all like 'saying Andriod can't do what an iPhone can'
somenub755
It is exactly that. Android is open-source software. iPhones are hardware.
fr1gid
You can't really discount the fact that the hardware is basically the same or very similar in both. The software/OS is the difference
herpaderpin
I wish i could use Flux and a custom color profile / nvidia settings at the same time. Flux is all FUK DAT SHIT and turns it immediately off

TheBritishAreComing
I use it but recently I've been testing without and actually my eyes hurt less and I don't feel so sleepy when I don't use it.
FeliciaSexopants
It's supposed to make you sleepy though?
TheBritishAreComing
No, it's meant to help your eyes and promote better sleep as a by-product. But it's not meant to give me dry eyes and headaches.
FeliciaSexopants
Yeah, that. I don't know, I've used it for years and I usually have the opposite problem: dry eyes if I'm not using it.
Omnomberry
Changing brightness with alt + pageup/down is a godsent ! I used to have to change it on the monitor which was very tedious.

There's a built-in solution if you're running CM12.1, too.
SovietMcStalin
twilight caused issues for me. i had to disable it every time i wanted to install something. it was blocking the install button.
zipperseven
They have a script that disables the overlay during installs now, haven't had that issue for several months
somenub755
That's an Android security measure, not an app issue. It's there to prevent apps from making overlays and causing 'ghost touches' and crap.
generationsai
Is it for iOS?
zipperseven
iOS requires Jailbreak to install an equivalent, for now. I think they're baking it in for iOS 9.3 though: http://www.apple.com/ios/preview/

MasterNateT
flux is available for iOS. Well, at least I have it on my iPad mini running iOS 6.x.x....But I think that iPad was jailbroken, so idk....

bonk4licious
It just about trying to lessen the impact of blues and whites and focusing on using reds, which are more pleasing to your eyes at night.

Yeah. It doesn't change brightness settings, it just applies a colored transparent overlay. I still love using it when reading at night.

It can change the brightness as well, on certain devices. Works pretty well since the lowest brightness on my slider is still too bright

JAYTimgur
How stupid are you
tehaoer
Actually I am quite bright.But I didn't knew that this program was installed on 1 of my work computers.So the changes of temp. were strange.
subsevid
If you work only during the day it's pretty pointless. Maybe you can configure the "night" setting to a higher temperature, like 5500K?
Kazuki11
But its hard to game with, the constant changing eats so much fps :/... still great if you're just browsing or something.
TheLordofMelons
Flux changes the color post processing, meaning if it's causing drops you have another issue.
muristo
I don't find any problems with fps drops. Have you tried to change the fast/slow change settings?
Kazuki11
Hmm idk, used to play league and I remember that my fps dropped from 250+ to 20 every 30 mins... uninstalled after 3 days, it prob. improved
SN3S
Changing the transition speed from "Fast' to 'Slow' helped me out with that nasty FPS drop. May or may not work for you.
TheJuggernaut
It seems to disable itself when I start up games.
Sumpte
Why would you want to mess around with your game colour anyway? Just disable it.
actuallyafool
Full screen, how does it work?
JamesGherkin
It should only drop FPS when it changes at sunset and sunrise. Maybe check your settings.
muristo
The change on the fast one might cause some drop but only when the colour changes, yes?
Kazuki11
Yep
darkevilmac
Psst, disable for 1hr button.
IchitheKira
or until sunrise
Kazuki11
Read the second part of my comment again
3ice
Where is it? What?
DeathAbuse
There's a disable til sunrise button. I never have Flux enabled when I'm gaming
PublicRelations
But then you'd need gunnars glasses, yes? So you can't call the people who bought Gunnars fools when you can't even use Flux for gaming
ZachPutland
Doesn't that negate the purpose?
IroningBoard
The solution to µTorrent having gone shitty is to install v. 2.2.1 and disable automatic updates. Done.
TETYYS
what about that RCE vulnerability then
ihaveatinyPP
the torrent site i frequent only allows utorrent 2.2.1, which i don't mind. Since they also seedbox all their torrents for max speed dls.
vyst
I use qbTorrent. It's like uTorrent 2.2.1 except they update it.
JapAnus
It's super slow for me. Like, torrents outright stop, even though people are seeding.
darkevilmac
Why bother using old software with bloat you have to disable? There's alternatives that work just as well if not better.
IroningBoard
It doesn't have bloat you have to disable, that was added in later versions - and while it may be old, I haven't found anything better.
K3nNiG
People complaining about it installing adware and junk don't read the install and smash next. You can also take all the ads out with two si-

crysisnomad
What's the issue with utorrent?
vyst
They filled it with a ton of adware/bloatware and advertisements in the UI.

and they steal cpu cycles to run bitcoin mining software (and you dont get the bitcoin)
vyst
I think they stopped doing this but the bloatware/advertisements are still there. Regardless there are far better clients out there.

Huh. I just disabled the ads in advanced settings and it's using zero CPU even though it's latest version. Guess I'm just lucky?

So neatly tucked away in the corner of my 2nd monitor. Who is this playing? No need to click a tab! Just look to the lower right and bingo!

AIMP is like Winamps spiritual successor, it's pretty sweet
aceandduce
I use it for my DJ bot
aethervamon
amen

"Winamp... It really kicks the llama's ass!!!""
fantastapotamus
I thought it was whips? it has been a while since I installed winamp though...
IW42
It is.
HouseOfEvil
It really does whip the llama's ass.
ObeseLlama
Offensive
Fuckweasel
I nearly downvoted your super-sensitive snowflake self, then I read the username. +1
ObeseLlama
XD ya it was just a joke
fijiartesian
Bahhhhhhhhhh
ObeseLlama
Also offensive lol
yeahSeriously
That's what I said before I installed and explored foobar. Foobar doesn't look, bit feels more like a successor to winamp 2 than winamp.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
I was loyal, holding onto v2.95 when v5 was out. Now I'm a foobar2k convert.
Hobo42
I have Winamp but all my music is on Google Play so I just use it in the browser.
chud37
It's three best. Minima skin too is amazing.
RottenKitten
Yes, because Winamp really just play music, no bullshit. Using it since 199... Something, like WinRAR and ACDSee 6.0 (2003 I think).
artemizer
Fastone can be an alternative to acdsee
RottenKitten
(But in Android I have PowerAmp).
proxybutts
Foobar is great but there's a ton of other options. AIMP is like Winamp but russian and newer. Musicbee is pretty good too
proxybutts
For android I personally use Shuttle+. It's amazing and completely customisable.
SanKa13
Winamp forever <3
DagstarTV
I'm actually astonished at how many of you still use Winamp too!
TheNoblesse
I'm with you. I added a custom skin and I'm happy with it.
super3dcow
That Milkdrop visualizer is unbeatable. And it plays all my raw retro video game soundtracks, which I don't think any other player can do.
darkevilmac
Aw come on, at least give foobar a try!
darkevilmac
Jeez why did this comment get 8 downvotes, I just said to at least give an application a try before saying it's not as good as another.
artemizer
No milkdrop :(
ScaleScentedAnalDildo
I did. Found it much less comfortable.
Nathrek
I have. I didn't like it.
Jarmake
I did, went back to winamp after a while. Winamp users unite!
pandasmakemehappy
I did and I liked it, but I found Winamp did what I wanted with less hassle. That said I don't use mp3s anymore
pandasmakemehappy
To clarify, I mostly use services like spotify now
ninjafartball
Foobar is great for converting audio files
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
I stayed on WinAMP 2.95 for a looong time - fb2k was the only worthy replacement.
ninjafartball
.
althrretha
I am agree.
Kheldarn
Hell yeah! WinAmp!
nemephis
v2.91
ipaulus
Same!
ninjafartball
Aah 2.95
ravagefox
I've been using 5.666 with the classic skin for years now.
ManolitoStone
Pre AOL-crap version
DeZaim
I found 2.91 slowed down **lots** with my music library. Updated to 5.xx and haven't had any issues. Still use classic skin though.
Efreeti
Damn straight
forbidinjustice
I'm an OG user of Winamp since 1999. Same skins, plugins, everything. Nothing can touch it.
cujo67
Remember trying to download all the skins, really nice to customize the apps layout ☺️
daimomusic
WinAmp is love, Winamp is life
OktoberSunset
Since 1999? Hey guys! Get a load of this n00b!
ArianSanders
Back in my day didn't have any of them fancy vis-ul-i-zations. If we wanted to see things with our music we had to rub our eyes to the beat
LetsGoGetSomeCake
My parents just did acid.
Zarf42
Me too bro. It just doesn't get any better.
Tankdoggy
2.31 with the old Mtn Dew skin.
DanteHicks79
Nokia pager skin for the win!
Arakki
2.91 with [Key]Controller v4.0, works like a charm and it's a mobile install so no need for packages.
DefunkMyJunk
There was this sound effect of an F1 car I had on my computer back then, played it using winamp and it kept looping, I couldn't turn it off
forbidinjustice
MMD3 skin with Enhancer (equaliser). I absolutely cringe when people say they use iTunes to play music.
IMpresington
Didn't know I had to be l33t to play music on my computer. Lol.
dovah
iTunes has an equalizer too...
konsumer
MilkDrop FTW!!!!!!
Warlocke
I know that feel, but try AIMP3. Just like Winamp but supports multiple playlists, resuming, alarm, works with keyboard media keys + more.
ShanghaisFamousLittleDublinDistrict
Fuckin a
SallymanderIChooseYou
I wish it was on Ubuntu
ThatsNotMickeyMouseThatsJustTitDirt
I had the same problem when I was using it but clementine is a good alternative IMO. Supports milkdrop even.
FloridaMansSideKick
wine
ThatsNotMickeyMouseThatsJustTitDirt
Winamp sounded bad for me when emulated.
FloridaMansSideKick
Huh, that's weird. But perfectly understandable.

The fun of Ubuntu is making your own apps: (Ubuntu server)![]()
cr4sh0verride
Remote controlled desktop media player with a cloud based music library.
Gmayor61
I always wondered how to get started in these things, is there any good place you can start?
cr4sh0verride
I have a lot of the material I used here: http://devhost.ddns.net/library
finallyiamrelevant
I said the same until I discovered MusicBee, now I'am using that till I die ;)
yoandhello
Me too! It's not ported to Linux, though. :(
VibrantPrime
I used to be a winamp fanatic and i still like it, but I can't give up XBMC's surround upmix feature.
gunkanes
Atom is not good.
EatingSnow
Yep. Hail vim!
BadTimesFriendAhead
nodejs-based native apps rarely are...
PooPooSpaghetti
Electron (NodeJS native engine to write native apps) is a bit clunky, but makes it easier to write desktop apps quick.
wilhelmsen
Please elaborate. Only beaten by sublime I think, but the hackability makes it worth it I think. And dude, its legitimately free.
YharnamsFinest
Use Notepad++ and compare :)
wilhelmsen
I have used npp for years but feel like I have to use the mouse way to much. Long time ago though so maybe I should try it out again
lllllllllillllllllllillllllllllilllllllillllllli
Agreed. It's such a slow editor, and it's buggy on Windows. It took me 2 hours to install a block select package. Because dependencies?
wickedunderscoredude
Agreed. Tried it once and immediately retreated to Sublime Text
yoandhello
It's a gret editor, I use it daily. It does glitch sometimes and take a few seconds more to load, but it's not bad.
AvocadoCadaver
How does it compare to Brackets for web development? Any better programs out there?
lllllllllillllllllllillllllllllilllllllillllllli
On Windows. Sublime Text is the editor I use the most, but Code is OK (for a new editor), Notepad++ is great for general text file editing.
ZarsBanchkin
I've tried using several of those new fancy editors, but I ended up going with zed. It's zen like, simplistic editor with interesting spin.
torcado194
In my experience atom is not as good for web dev because of less JavaScript support (surprisingly). it is more lightweight though
AvocadoCadaver
I see. What got me interested was the supposedly real-time webpage rendering and autocomplete...I'll look into it some more.
isavegas
It's a great application, but incredibly slow startup
jaericho
that that is my complaint about it as well.
yoandhello
Got an SSD, it loads really quickly most of the time. I usually just leave a session open for quick editing.
xtuga2x
It's only almost redeemable quality is that it has real time webpage display. But then again you can just have two monitors and notepad++
torcado194
Try brackets then, it has great real time web page display
NachoNachoMan
Love me some notepad++...
Vuthakral
Or if you have one monitor just alt-tab to the point it becomes natural
Soupreme
Or be crazy and have 5 monitors like me...
